General of the Heavens

Just as Ning Chen was about to step forward to dissect the corpse and seize the zombie's inner core, he saw the Yuan Dynasty zombie king, who had been lying in the golden nanmu coffin, suddenly open his eyes!

Chen Yulou glanced at his pocket watch. "Midnight is the time of day when Yin energy is at its strongest. Third brother, hurry and retrieve the inner elixir, or something bad will happen!"

Without hesitation, Ning Chen plunged the gold-inlaid dagger into the Zombie King's chest. The Zombie King's bones were so hard that it took Ning Chen a great deal of effort to break it!

He kicked the head of the coffin and slashed down hard, forcefully splitting open the chest of the Yuan Dynasty Zombie King. A flash of blue light appeared, and Ning Chen vaguely saw the inner core!

"Haha! Another inner core!"

Ning Chen laughed and reached out to take the inner core, but suddenly felt a sharp pain on his head. He had been hit by a fist-sized rock.

"Damn it! Second brother, what time is it and you're still making a fuss? Didn't you say that delay would cause problems?!" Ning Chen glared fiercely at Chen Yulou.

Chen Yulou was bewildered and confused. It really wasn't him. Just as he was wondering, Chen Yulou suddenly felt a headache and was hit on the head by a rock!

"Ouch! Which bastard threw this at me!"

Suddenly, Ning Chen turned around to retrieve the inner core, but before he could reach into the zombie's body, a torrential rain of stones fell down!

The three were caught off guard by the impact.

Ning Chen, Chen Yulou, and Partridge Whistle were too busy protecting themselves to even retrieve their inner cores, so they could only hide in a blind spot. Chen Yulou shouted loudly outside, "What's going on!"

About three or five breaths later, a figure rushed into the ancient tomb while staring at the rain of stones. Ning Chen glanced at it and realized it was Hong Guniang.

In his haste, Partridge Whistle took a few hits from the rocks, then pulled Red Girl into his arms and they huddled together in a corner.

"Boss, something terrible has happened! Chaos has broken free from Partridge Whistle's embrace, her face still flushed, and hurriedly explained, "A bunch of wild monkeys have appeared out of nowhere, they're everywhere on the mountain, they're picking up stones and throwing them at anyone they see! The brothers outside have to hide."

"A wild monkey? Could it be that white ape?"

Ning Chen immediately thought of the white ape that steals peaches. It turned out that Chen Yulou had been frantically capturing the white ape, causing it to scatter everywhere. Later, when Ning Chen and his two companions were opening coffins and rummaging through the tomb, the white ape led its troop of monkeys to hide in the shadows and spy on them.

When the three opened the coffin, a torrent of black mist surged out. The white ape, being quite intelligent, naturally saw this as a good opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and with a command, led its troop of monkeys to ambush the group.

Moreover, the white ape knew that everyone had guns, so it simply instructed the monkey troop to hide far away in trees or behind rocks and throw stones from above.

There were also some wild monkeys that, even if they couldn't find any stones, would still howl and throw anything they saw, even the carcass of a rooster that had died fighting poisonous creatures in the mountains, tearing off its legs and throwing it into the grave.

This group of monkeys is extremely unruly and lives deep in the mountains and forests. When they encounter passing merchants and travelers, they will even secretly follow them and throw stones at them when they reach steep cliffs and dangerous paths.

Merchants are often caught off guard; some stumble and fall into deep valleys, losing their lives, while others are lucky enough to only be injured by stones.

However, their clothes and food were looted by the Yus, and these wild monkeys, having tasted the sweetness of the food, did not take the outsiders seriously at all, and had become the local tyrants of Old Bear Ridge!

Now, Ning Chen and the others have suffered the consequences.

The pebbles, large and small, fell like rain, and when Partridge Whistle turned around, he saw that the back of Red Girl's head had been smashed open.

A nameless fire suddenly ignited in Partridge Whistle's heart, and his murderous intent was about to burst forth. He immediately decided to kill one as a warning to others to prevent future troubles.

Partridge Whistle has a demon in his heart. Once the thought of killing arises, he can't stop it. And whether he kills one or a hundred, it's the same!

With a glint in his eyes, Partridge Whistle leaped out, bracing himself against the falling rocks, and pulled the trigger repeatedly with two fingers!

Two bursts of bullets were fired, piercing the night sky. After each shot, a monkey would fall from a tree or behind a rock.

Partridge Whistle could hit even the tip of an incense stick a hundred paces away, truly a master of accuracy. Every monkey was shot between the eyebrows, dying instantly from the brain.

In the blink of an eye, forty bullets had killed forty monkeys. The white ape cried out in alarm, and the rest of the monkeys, big and small, scattered and fled.

Some slow-reacting monkeys hold stones, stare with their monkey eyes, and remain motionless, like wooden or clay sculptures.

The last group of monkeys howled and scrambled to escape the place as fast as they could, perhaps never to return.

After being severely beaten by Partridge Whistle, it's estimated that from now on, these monkeys will avoid anyone wearing black at all costs!

After dealing with the uninvited guests, Ning Chen and his two companions rushed over to check on the zombies. The damned wild monkeys had thrown countless stones, completely filling the coffin!

When Hong Guniang saw Partridge Whistle display his prowess, she was first startled, then her face turned red, and she secretly sighed that the man she had chosen was indeed a real man!

Ning Chen glanced at the two of them thoughtfully, then pursed his lips, not understanding what they were thinking, as they hadn't even broken through that barrier yet.

Shy? One injection and none of that will happen.

Shaking his head, Ning Chen continued to clean the stones in the coffin. As he was rummaging through them, Ning Chen's pupils shrank as two large rooster carcasses were thrown in.

Ning Chen was holding the rooster carcass, from which black blood was constantly flowing out. At first glance, the chicken blood had seeped through the stone and flowed into the bottom of the coffin.

Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle, and Ning Chen looked at each other, their faces all grim. Sure enough, the next second, another strange change occurred in the coffin, confirming what the three had thought!

"The zombies have turned into monsters!"

Generally speaking, if the person buried in the tomb held a prominent position during their lifetime, the burial goods and items used to preserve the body would inevitably be rare and mysterious funerary objects.

Similarly, once such a being rises from the dead, its transformation will be extraordinary, and even magical artifacts such as talismans or peach wood swords will be difficult to subdue it.

As the saying goes, a corpse king must have been a powerful minister or nobleman in life. Ordinary people who are buried simply will not be fortunate enough to be given this title even if they rise from the dead.

Right now, a zombie king is awakening. With a whoosh, all the stones in the coffin were thrown out, and then the zombie king at the bottom of the coffin sat up abruptly!

The zombie king opened its huge, dark mouth, revealing two rows of fangs. Upon seeing the four people, it hesitated for a moment before suddenly lunging at Ning Chen!

Ning Chen: "..."

"Damn it! So many people are attacking me? What's so great about me that the Corpse King values ​​me so much? Just because I poked him and almost ripped out his inner core? This is discrimination!"

These days even zombies are discriminating against Ning Chen. He was furious and had to teach him a lesson. With a flick of his wrist, a submachine gun was revealed!

This was something Ning Chen had scavenged from Luo Laowai; it was a genuine British product. The powerful recoil didn't make Ning Chen dislike it; instead, it gave him confidence!

Da da da! Da da da! Da da da!

The gun was firing, and all one hundred bullets were fired, smashing half of the Corpse King's head, leaving rotting flesh that reeked of stench everywhere!

Zombie King: "???"
